High Severity
Apache
SVRS
62/100
CVSSv3
5.3/10
EPSS
0.23957/1

CVE-2024-40725 allows for potential source code disclosure in Apache HTTP Server 2.4.61, even with a partial fix for CVE-2024-39884. This vulnerability arises because "AddType" configurations can, under specific indirect file requests, reveal local file contents. While the CVSS score is 5.3, SOCRadar's Vulnerability Risk Score (SVRS) is 62, indicating a moderate risk, though not critical. The underlying issue involves a CWE-668 (Exposure of Resource to Wrong Sphere). Notably, exploits are available and being used "In The Wild". This means attackers are actively attempting to leverage this flaw. Immediate mitigation, such as upgrading to Apache HTTP Server 2.4.62, is strongly recommended to prevent the disclosure of sensitive code. This is significant due to the potential for attackers to gain insights into the server's inner workings and potentially escalate attacks.
